rp3drusm & Dick. Thank you for your interesting comments and I can assure you that I am not at all offended by anything you have said! :)
Firstly, I have no doubt that there are many fine drummers here who would have no problem adding drums to a bare bass track but of course they will only do so if they find the bass (or other part) sufficiently interesting to download! :) Even a wonderful bass part can sound quite uninspiring in isolation. I recall a BBC documentary about Peter Gabriel's 'So' where Tony Levin's bass track was briefly soloed: it really didn't sound that great on it's own but in context you couldn't imagine anything else being played! To be honest, even as a bass player I prefer to wait until I see a remix with both drums and chords before I jump it, in order to give context (or to use Dick's excellent phrase, to 'explain' what I'm trying to do).
I've recently started to upload bass HD parts on top of drums+bass. Perhaps as an experiment, as you suggest, I'll try to upload a bass-only part to see what happens*. In the meantime, I was actually serious about the offer to provide soloed parts - I'm sure others would also be delighted to be asked.
Dick - apologies, I didn't intend to suggest that you rewrite the whole of Wikiloops from the ground up to support this kind of pick-and-mix approach! :)
Ok - uploaded, so we'll see... :)
